NYC Corrections

The NYC Corrections Department maintains borough jails in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. The court pens
are located in the Criminal, Supreme and Family Court buildings in each
borough. In Manhattan, an additional court pen is operated in the
special Narcotics Court. These courthouse facilities hold inmates
scheduled for the day’s proceedings.

Seriously ill inmates and those requiring intensive psychiatric observation are held in prison wards
that the Department operates in Elmhurst General Hospital and Bellevue
Hospital. The North Infirmary Command on Rikers Island houses detainees
with less serious medical problems and persons with AIDS not requiring
hospitalization, as well as high security inmates.
